That’s exactly how it’s been today here, we walked to the shops this morning and had to hide from a blizzard for 15 minutes.

Are those std fitment to new houses Blade? Wouldn’t fancy that in snow or if the water level rises outside.

One door to a new build property has to be level access for wheel chair access I believe.
I think the Muppets that built our house misread that as sledge access

There was about 2" of snow n the deck in London today, the walk through Hyde park this morning was lovely.
It started snowing at about 10 and hit heavier and heavier. I bottled it and come home at 11:30 and have no plans to go back into London until Monday.

Seems like to today is our day for snow. Its forecast to snow all day, and so far one of the kids schools has been closed.

There's an 8 inches jokes in there somewhere.
We've had very little snow. Yesterday was all about short blizzards followed by sunshine. The roads were dry this morning.

They've just closed the A6 Manchester road out of Buxton and that's not happened before in the 6 years I've been here. All the passes out of Buxton close regularly in the winter as they're over 1600 feet, but the A6 is flat. Apparently the ploughs can't keep up with the drifting.
The Trains have stopped to, so we're officially cut off.
